Only if you are a fool!
In a recent interview, Biden proclaimed that he would drop out only in the event of a medical issue.
Despite receiving the vaccine daily, he now has COVID for the 85th time.
It's now being reported that, as a result of being ill, he is "reevaluating" his campaign.
Me says Barry O and Nancy are behind this with Schumer and Jeffries taking the credit.

I watched the NBC live stream of the convention last night. Hillary's name was brought up as a possible replacement for Biden.
Anything can happen. I just do not see Kamala getting placed at the top of the ballot.

Crazy times… From Fox News… DNC committee moving forward with plans for virtual roll call vote in early August The rulemaking body of the Democratic National Convention is preparing to vote on President Biden as the party's presidential nominee. The Democratic National Convention’s Rules Committee members voted Friday for a virtual roll call on Aug. 7 to certify Biden's victory, despite widespread upset over what many call visible mental decline. The nearly 200 committee members will meet again on or before July 26 to formally adopt the virtual roll call format. The vote itself will be held in the first week of August and is thus far expected to serve as a rubber stamp on the Biden campaign;

As an amateur student if electoral history,I offer the following non-partisan observations.
Picking Vance as VP was not the best move, because he doesn't bring supporters that Trump doesn't already have. No one changed their mind about Trump because of this pick, it simply reinforced his base. A little more moderate pick might have brought some converts.
If Biden drops out, and Harris is not picked to replace him, the Dems will alienate some of the key black and women voters.
Bidens approval is falling rapidly but Trumps is not climbing. Trump has an unshakeable base, but people are not switching from Biden to Trump.
A rapidly growing number of people want someone new altogether.
If Biden is replaced, it will be as late as possible, thereby giving the least amount of time for an opposition response.
Accusations will fill the air from both sides about voter fraud, voter intimidation, and we will see a lot of legal fights. Hopefully no violence or civil unrest, but there may well be.
All this is just my thoughts...
Anybody else?

IMO…If you’re not switching from Biden to Trump you’re part of the problem in this country!! Take an honest look around and it’s blatantly obvious!

All this is just my thoughts... Anybody else? A rapidly growing number of people do want someone new and that's what they are getting from Trump's VP pick. I had never heard of Vance until he was picked as Trumps VP. 39 years old, a military veteran who knows how the common man lives with what his growing up years were like. I think he was a very good pick for VP. I think he is in line to be the next president after Trumps final term, maybe before if the next assasin's bullet hits it mark. You know there is some crazy SOB out there planning to try it in the future. God forbid it.

Its ok to say people SHOULD switch, but they won't. That is my point.

And I am not criticizing Vance. He might be a good VP, but his selection did not bring Trump any additional voters.
Think Biden/Harris. There is no question that the selection of a woman of color brought Biden more minority votes.

I wanted Tulsi Gabbard for reasons you elude to, plus her military background, however I don't agree that Vance can't pull in some new voters. Just the fact that he is 39 years old sets him vastly apart from the pack.

All this is just my thoughts... Anybody else? It's my understanding that Harris is the only one (other than Biden) that can utilize the campaign money that is in the Biden-Harris account, which does make sense. 1. If neither Biden nor Harris runs, what happens to that money? 2. If the candidate is someone else, how does that person raise enough money in the short amount of time to be competitive?

If Trump had chosen Micky Mouse as VP, it would still be a more stable platform than the Dems can come up with now this late in the game. I can see Vance bring in votes from the younger population who may not have even taken the time to vote and also every leather neck out there. Marines stick together for life.

The Army has been sending Biden used blankets for a year. About time he caught SOMETHING.

If they pull Biden or he "removes" himself,is Harris the only option? I honestly don't know. I know the elections are state run and the deadline has passed in all of them for being put on the ballot. We're in uncharted waters, for sure.
